A biogeographical evaluation of high-elevation myxomycete assemblages in the northern Neotropics
(2011-08)This study represented an effort to apply some of the relatively well-known biogeographical and macroecological models to the observed structure of myxomycete assemblages, with emphasis on the northern Neotropical region. ... -
A study case of two myxomycete surveys in a fir forest of central Mexico
(2021-07-13)Field collections and laboratory isolation in moist chamber cultures are two complementary techniques widely used to record sporocarps of myxomycetes. The species recorded using either method tend to be different due to ... -
Additions to the myxobiota of Central America
(2014)Given the fact that until recently the myxomycetes were an understudied group in Central America, it is not surprising that the number of new records for most countries is currently increasing at a steady pace. This is ... -
An update on the myxomycete biota (Amoebozoa: Myxogastria) of Colombia
(2012-08-01)Twelve new records of myxomycetes are reported for Colombia. These additions increase the number of myxomycetes known from this country to 108 species. Since the Colombian territory is part of a biodiversity-rich region in ... -
Assemblages of corticolous myxomycetes associated with species of Pinus (Pinaceae) in four different regions of the world
(2020-07-02)Corticolous myxomycetes associated with four species of pine in different regions of the world were investigated. Samples of bark collected from 20 trees in each region were used to prepare 240 moist chamber cultures, ... -
Assemblages of myxomycetes associated with three different substrates affected by forest wildfires
(2021-03-23)Background and aims – In late November and early December of 2016, forest wildfires occurred over portions of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (USA) and more than 4 000 ha were affected. Previous studies have shown ... -
Biogeographical assessment of myxomycete assemblages from Neotropical and Asian Palaeotropical forests
(2017-03-16)Aim Lowland/highland and Neotropical/Asian Palaeotropical assemblages of myxomycetes were compared to test the null hypothesis that neither species diversity nor species composition differs between the two ecoregions. ... -
Brief research history and status of myxomycete conservation in the Neotropics
(2012-11-08)As it is the case of most disciplines, biological groups and regions in the world; the historical path of research on myxomycetes in the Neotropical region has been written on the basis of a series of milestones, iconic ... -
Can seedlings’ physiological information improve vegetation distribution predictions at local scales?
(2020-04-17)Physiological information has been suc- cessfully included in marine Species Distribution Models (SDM) before, but few have considered a previous development stage that could have affected the present-day distribution ... -
Can the location of the isolation laboratory affect the generation of myxomycete data using moist chambers? An experiment in the Neotropics
(2021-03-11)The moist chamber technique, as it is used in myxomycete research, is an extremely useful method to optimize project resources. However, as it occurs with any laboratory-based protocol, the usefulness of this technique ... -
Carbono, bosques y micorrizas: una “negación de investigación imperativa”
(2014)El estudio integrado de los sistemas biológicos asociados con el secuestro y fijación de carbono no ha sido prioritario en la determinación de los protocolos de cuantificación de este elemento. Este caso de reduccionismo ... -
Climate change-based modeling of potential land use arrangements for coffee (coffea arabica) and forest in Costa Rica
(2017-12)Besides the need to reduce its own emissions, the challenge of the agricultural sector worldwide is also to adapt to a changing and more variable climate. Coffee is an important crop in Costa Rica based on cultivated area ... -
Comparative analysis on datasets of myxomycetes associated with boreal, temperate and tropical regions of North America
(2020-10)Datasets from boreal (Denali National Park, United States), temperate (Great Smoky Mountains National Park, United States) and tropical (La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica) regions of North America were subjected ... -
Distribution and ecology of myxomycetes in the high-elevation oak forests of Cerro Bellavista, Costa Rica
(2007)Myxomycetes associated with a high-elevation (.3000 m) oak forest in the Talamanca Range of Costa Rica were studied for 7 mo. Field collections were supplemented with collections obtained from moist chamber cultures ... -
Does habitat loss affect tropical myxomycetes?
(2014-10-29)The effect of habitat loss on the dynamics of myxomycete assemblages has been poorly studied thus far. For this reason, a premontane moist forest surrounded by human-created pastures on the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica ... -
Ecological aspects of myxomycete assemblages in two Brazilian Cerrado landscapes
(2021)We investigated the ecological aspects of the myxobiota associated with both the mesophilic and gallery forests from a fragment of the Cerrado biome located in the municipality of Anápolis, Goiás, Brazil. Myxomycete assemblages ... -
Ecological patterns of Costa Rican myxomycetes
(2009-10)Ecological patterns of tropical myxomycetes have been subjected to study only during the last decade. An exhaustive analysis of an extensive dataset for a single tropical country is lacking. For this reason, the present ... -
Ecological patterns of lignicolous myxomycetes from two different forest types in Costa Rica
(2015-04-21)Lignicolous myxomycetes comprise an ecological guild that has been extensively studied in temperate areas. However, there is still incomplete information about the group for the tropics and thus, with the objective to ... -
Effect of forest disturbance on myxomycete assemblages in the southwestern Peruvian Amazon
(2012-06-16)Although the effects of microenvironmental factors on distribution patterns in myxomycetes have been investigated, studies of the responses of this group of organisms to different regimes of forest disturbance are ... -
First records of myxomycetes from El Salvador
(2013-11-02)Myxomycetes have been studied formally in most of Central America except for El Salvador. Even though this country is the last in the region to begin an official inventory for this group of organisms, the 37 new records ...
